They’ve got a tough job to do to maintain public safety and hold accountable those who break the law."</span></b></em><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;"></span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Police officers, firefighters, and other public safety and law enforcement officers provide necessary services to the community and their work deeply connects them to the people they serve. Quite often, these professionals put their own safety in jeopardy to guard the safety and well-being of citizens, to protect their private property, and to guard vital institutions.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Public safety and law enforcement organizations include emergency management agencies, fire departments, rescue services, emergency medical technicians, departments of motor vehicles who administer driver’s licenses and conduct vehicle inspections, and animal control units. Employees of these organizations come face to face with the daily conflicts and crimes that occur on the streets of our cities and neighborhoods. These vary from littering and noise pollution to property damage, trespassing, burglary, domestic violence and other forms of improper social behavior. In the United States, The Department of Homeland Security is the federal agency responsible for public safety and for federal emergency services rendered through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA works proactively to mitigate the impact of disasters such as earthquakes, floods and hurricanes.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Public safety and law enforcement officers play an important role during natural and manmade disasters to save lives and support the stabilization of communities in difficult times when people are suffering from personal injury, or the loss of their relatives, homes and other valued possessions. Preparedness is an important aspect of their training. This enabled them to respond quickly and efficiently and to provide well-coordinated and effective incident support and disaster relief.</span></p>

Description
An account of the resource
From Officer to Sergeant, from Lieutenant to Captain, and then finally all the way to Commander, Blake Chow has deserved becoming the highest ranking Chinese-American police officer in the history of the Los Angeles Police Department. He proved he deserved to climb the ladder as he went above and beyond each task and assignment given to him. During his time as Captain, he was given responsibility to start a new division, Real Time Analysis and Critical Response Division. This division would manage the city under major occurrences, analyze crime on a real time basis to look for patterns and where to place officers, and to keep track of all uniformed resources. When Blake was assigned to the Hollenbeck area in 2007, homicide rates dropped at a record that hadn’t been seen since the 1970’s. This kind of effect came with him when he was assigned to Central Area the year after, where crime dropped by 11%. When in 2010 he became Commander, he was the first Chinese-American to do so in the LAPD’s 140 year history, and was awarded the History Makers Award by the Los Angeles Chinese American Museum.
